“Berries very clean and comfortable surprised how large and spacious bungalow ...”

Berries very clean and comfortable surprised how large and spacious bungalow was, enjoyed watching moorhens and chicks in garden would certainly book again as unfortunately weather hadn't been very good

- David, July 2024
Dave June 2024

“Berries is a beautiful and comfortable property.”

It is spacious, very well equipped and Joan is a friendly and helpful host. We have stayed in numerous properties over the years and Berries would certainly rank in the top 3. Watching the wildlife in the garden, especially the newly hatched moorhen chicks was an added bonus. The location is very central to explore mid Suffolk and south Norfolk with several attractive towns within easy reach. We would certainly return.

- Dave, June 2024

Thank you for your feedback. I am pleased you enjoyed staying in Berries and enjoyed watching the moorhen chicks. They are still growing well. Hopefully I will see you again sometime. Property Owner
Rosemary May 2024

“The George pub in the village was not dog friendly which was a nuisance.”

Barningham was a very friendly village, lots of good country parks to visit nearby. Bury St Edmunds a lovely town with great gardens and shops. The property was very clean and well equipped, with a beautiful garden and friendly helpful owner. Great local shop in the village.

- Rosemary, May 2024

I am pleased you enjoyed your stay in Berries. It’s unfortunate that The Royal George does not allow dogs inside. They lose a lot of custom from my guests however I hope that did not spoil your holiday. Property Owner
Lynda April 2024

“I stayed in this cottage last year and loved it so much I returned this year.”

The owner Joan is really friendly and helpful without being intrusive. The bungalow is warm and very well appointed with everything you could possibly need for a self catering stay. The garden is beautiful with nesting moorhens on the large pond. Brilliant place with plenty of wonderful things to see inc Bury st Edmund's market, Flatford Mill Lavenham, Ickworth House and Gardens.

- Lynda, April 2024

It was lovely to see you again Lynda. So pleased you enjoy staying in Berries. Hope to see you again. Property Owner

We have been before and think it’s a great place and surroundings and dog friendly too.

Heidi November 2023

“Lovely cosy cottage that was clean and comfortable with everything you could need.”

Cookies and milk with a selection of coffee and tea bags for our arrival and plenty of bin bags, kitchen roll, foil, cling film and other essentials. Nice fluffy towels and comfortable bedroom with plenty of storage. Joan the owner is lovely and welcoming. Village is very nice and shop is within walking distance and has a good selection of groceries. Lovely big park nearby and nice walking routes through the village if your bringing your dog. Highly recommended and will definitely return

- Heidi, November 2023

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay and found everything you needed in the bungalow. It’s really handy having such a good shop just round the corner. Property Owner
Mary November 2023

“We received a very warm welcome from Joan on arrival.”

The accommodation was very clean, spacious and comfortable and very well equipped with a wonderful garden. An ideal base for exploring the local area and although the weather (and illness which cut our short stay even shorter) was against us we enjoyed our stay and hope to return next year,

- Mary, November 2023

David September 2023

“Great property, with a lot of space for two people including a nice garden.”

Good quiet location, but close to main roads to get to places easily such as Bury St Edmunds. We would stay here again when we visit this area of Suffolk.

- David, September 2023

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay in Berries. I look forward to welcoming you again at some time Property Owner
Brenda September 2023

“We had a lovely stay at Berries.”

Joan, the owner, had thought of everything. Only thing we could have done with was an oven glove. Otherwise there was everything we could have wanted. Lovely location, spotlessly clean cottage. Beautiful garden. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend the property to others.

- Brenda, September 2023

I am really pleased you enjoyed your stay in Berries. I am sorry about the oven glove. There used to be one there I must have overlooked that it was missing. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I will make sure it is replaced. Joan Property Owner
Richard September 2023

“The bungalow was lovely.”

It suited us both very well in terms of furnishing, equipment, GARDEN (an absolute delight for us and a dog). (This next is no fault of the property) It is not evident from the information in the brochure before booking that the location is so remote. In many ways this is delightful but in terms of accessing the coast (Southwold, Dunwich and Aldeburgh) just one journey and we only made one coast visit. The location should be more accurately described.

- Richard, September 2023

Thank you for your feedback. It is lovely to hear you enjoyed the garden. I am sorry you found the property further from the coast than you expected but I hope you enjoyed visiting the delightful towns and villages which are closer . Property Owner
Lorena July 2023

“Absolutely no complaints about the accommodation.”

Comfortable, clean and welcoming. The sound of water and colourful planting makes the garden a calming and peaceful haven.

- Diane, July 2023

I am pleased you enjoyed your stay in Berries. I love the garden and am pleased to be able to share it with my guests. Property Owner

Lynda June 2023

“This is one of the most well appointed cottages I've stayed in.”

Large rooms with plenty of storage space in kitchen and bedroom. Lovely garden with pond for moorhen chicks and nightly visits from hedgehog. In a central location with plenty of places to visit and superb dog walks in village and beyond. I'm definitely returning next year.

Peter June 2023

“We new of Berries from family locally, and we were so happy when Joan gave us a tour of the bungalow.”

Everything you need is there, and our two dogs had ample space to play, and plenty of meadow and woodland walks locally too. The most important part of a holiday for us is getting a good night sleep on a comfortable bed, and we slept really well. Perfect location for exploring both Suffolk and Norfolk, we will definitely stay at Berries again.

- Peter, June 2023

Thank you for your positive feedback. I’m pleased you found the bed comfortable. Lots of guests have commented on this. I hope to see you again next time you want to visit Suffolk Property Owner

Doris February 2023

“We had a most enjoyable stay at Berries, the bungalow was very comfortable and very well equipped, definitely the best holiday let that we have ever stayed in.”

The village is very nice and quiet with a well stocked village shop.We would recommend this bungalow, although we stayed in winter the bungalow was super cosy but in summer it would be great as the garden is lovely, with nice seating to enjoy the sun. The owner was very pleasant and made us feel very welcome.

- Doris, February 2023

Thank you Doris for your kind comments. I am pleased you enjoyed your stay and found the bungalow warm. and comfortable. Property Owner
Charlotte January 2023

“We really enjoyed our stay at Berries.”

It was spotlessly clean and Joan was really helpful and welcoming ahead of our stay, and upon our arrival. Good kitchen facilities for us to cook in, and very comfy bed! We brought our dog with us, who loved running around the nearby field- thank you to Joan for the recommendation!

- Charlotte, January 2023

Thank you Charlotte for your positive feedback. It was a pleasure to meet you both and your lovely dog. I’m pleased you enjoyed your stay and found everything to your satisfaction. I hope you will come back and stay in Berries again sometime. Property Owner

Les November 2022

“We enjoyed a relaxing stay at Berries.”

The cottage was well equipped and very clean on arrival. It was a very roomy bungalow for a 1 bed, and Joan made us very welcome. Unfortunately the pub close by would not allow dogs even in bar area. However we found various other’s that did within a short drive. Great for walking at Knettlesham Heath about 3 miles away and a fabulous Chinese takeaway in Honnington. We would return if holidaying in the area again.

- Les, November 2022

I am very pleased you enjoyed your stay in Berries. I’m sorry our local pub does not allow dogs. They lose a lot of custom from our visitors however I am pleased you found alternatives relatively close by. If you decide to return to the area I would be very happy to see you again. Property Owner
Joyce October 2022

“Our host was the nicest lady anyone could meet, nothing was too much trouble.”

The Berries was a perfect home for the week for us, we are both disabled and the facility's were perfect for us. The welcome pack was lovely, thank you Joan. We would love to return sometime in the future.

- Joyce, October 2022

Thank you for your kind comments. I am pleased you found Berries comfortable and accessible. You will be most welcome if you wish to return in the future. Property Owner

Stephen September 2022

“One of our best cottage holidays for accommodation.”

- Stephen, September 2022
Valerie September 2022

“Berries was a lovely place to stay - so clean and comfortable.”

Everything that you could need was provided and the fruit we were given from the owner's garden was a bonus! We had a really good holiday and definitely intend to return but this time for two weeks as Berries is in an excellent position to visit so many places.

- Valerie, September 2022

So pleased you enjoyed your stay in Berries. Thank you for your lovely feedback. We certainly look forward to seeing you again soon. Joan Property Owner
John September 2022

“We had a very pleasant stay in The Berries.”

The cottage is extremely well equipped and spacious, everything we could possibly want was there. The decor is a little dated but good quality, and the comfort made up for it. It’s very peaceful and we slept well in the comfortable king size bed. The gardens are beautiful and gave a luxurious feel to the accommodation. There’s a Spar shop in short walking distance that sold most things. Around the corner is a large almost enclosed rec to exercise us and our dog. There’s a few nice places to eat out if you don’t want to cook. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again when we’re back in the area, and can highly recommend it.

- John, September 2022

We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay on Berries and found it well equipped and comfortable. We are lucky to have such a good Spar shop just round the corner and plenty of nice places to eat nearby. We hope you will come and see us again sometime. Joan Property Owner
Paul August 2022

“Our stay was delightful with all the facilities and comforts one could reasonably expect.”

The traditional furnishings harmonised with our own tastes and the spacious cottage and it's surroundings oozed peace and calm. The rear of the cottage overlooks a beautiful tree bordered garden and on our last day, the quaint arched bridge traversing their attractive pond played host to a busy kingfisher. A rare and joyous sight... unless you're a fish! To be picky, there were signs of wear and tear but none that detracted from the pleasure of our stay. Joan, our host, is a lovely lady and was very helpful and to anyone looking for a base almost equidistant from Bury, Diss and Thetford in beautiful Suffolk, we would recommend this one.

- Paul, August 2022

Thank you for your positive feedback. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and found the garden peaceful and relaxing. What a bonus to see the kingfisher. Joan Property Owner
Debbie August 2022

“Lovely property, it really is home from home.”

There are some great walks and local attractions. There are plenty of dog friendly pubs, The Swan was our local and we had a lot of meals there, good home cooking. Highly recommend the Berries.

- Debbie, August 2022

Thank you Debbie for your lovely comments. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay at Berries. Hope you will come back again soon. Joan Property Owner

“A perfect holiday cottage.”

“The property was very clean and warm (we arrived in a blizzard!”

Y December 2021

“A really warm cosy and comfortable stay.”

Loved the recliner which my husband and I fought for. It was like home from home as it had everything you would need especially, if, like us we had a long stay

- Y, December 2021
John November 2021

“Comfortable, warm, spacious, well-equipped cottage in very peaceful area.”

Nothing significant was lacking. There is a huge amount of storage space (kitchen and bedroom) and the fridge/freezer is a full size one. The WiFi worked well and it was nice to have a separate radio/CD player. Lovely garden to look out on. The nearby pub does great food, especially fish, though is rather expensive.

- John, November 2021

We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay in Berries. We hope to see you again Property Owner
Les September 2021

“Hosts were superb nothing too much for them but were not at all intrusive Bungalow was better than expected and probably the best we have stayed in.”

Pub and shop very closeby All in all a wonderful break and we would definitely return

- Julie, August 2021

Plenty of space outside for your dogs. It is home from home you have everything you need for your stay, I would highly recommend "The Berries". The owners are very friendly and welcoming.

- Debbie, July 2021
Brian July 2021

“Very comfortable cottage.”

The garden and views were superb. The owner made us very welcome but not intrusive. The village shop and pub very convenient. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

- Brian, July 2021

- Andrew, December 2020
Gillian October 2020

“A very comfortable and well equipped holiday let.”

Easy to find and get to. Only one small negative, the shower lacked power and could do with updating. However overall, it was excellent.

- Gillian, October 2020
Patrick August 2020

“Fantastic place to stay clean tidy with everything you need to hand .”

Lovely location with a convenient shop around the corner and a Fantastic Pub at the end of the road . If I was to nit pick the only thing I could say is the property inside is very dated with old style furniture and fittings etc but didn’t spoil our stay .

- Patrick, August 2020
Anthony July 2020

“This lovely bungalow has everything you could want, the owners garden is just stunning and can be enjoyed from the accommodation.”

The village of Barningham has everything you want, a pub that has an amazing menu and a village stores that seems to be 'open all hours', walks etc. I have just spent seven weeks in this accommodation, it felt like my second home.

- Anthony, July 2020
William November 2019

“This was our 2nd stay at the Berries, and enjoyed a restful week, host were most helpful.”

- William, November 2019
Russell September 2019

“What a splendid place to have a relaxing holiday.”

Although only having the one bedroom each room of the bungalow is spacious and extremely well appointed. The double bed is extremely comfortable, the kitchen area has all the facilities one could hope for, and the lounge / dining area is practical whilst retaining that homely feel to it.

- Russell, September 2019
Christine September 2019

“Berries is a lovely, comfortable, bright, light, well equipped, clean and spacious house with lots of storage wardrobes and cupboards.”

As soon as we were shown around by Joan it felt like a home and not just a house. The garden outside the lounge window with the large pond is such a delight. Barningham is a lovely village which has a Spar shop about 200 yds away and a local pub, but being vegetarian we found a good choice for us at The Swan at Coney Weston just up the road, lovely staff and worth a visit. Berries is ideal for a base and not too far from the coast but with lots to see quite near. I must mention the 100th Bomb Group War Museum, what a fabulous place with lovely people running it. All in all we had a great week and if we return to Suffolk would be booking Berries again. Perfect. Thank you Joan and Robert for sharing Berries.

- Christine, September 2019
Simon August 2019

“Lovely garden to look out onto - really spacious accommodation and very homely with all mod cons available.”

- Simon, August 2019
Andrew August 2019

“Perfect. Lovely location, delightful accommodation and gardens.”

Wonderful hosts.

- Andrew, August 2019
Andrew July 2019

“Delightful accommodation.”

Beautiful garden. Friendly helpful hosts. Close to corner shop. Lovely country location, within comfortable driving distance of Bury St Edmund, Diss, and Thetford. Also, close enough to coast for days out.

- Andrew, July 2019
David June 2019

“First class great place”

- David, June 2019
Ian June 2019

“JOAN & BOB MET AND GREETED PROVIDING US WITH ALL WE NEEDED INFORMATION WISE .”

THEY WERE NEVER INTRUSIVE BUT CAME ON REQUEST AS SOON AS WE HAD SOMETHING THAT NEEDED CLARIFICATION.......SORTED US OUT THEN DEPARTED. CONVERSATION THROUGHOUT THE WEEK IN PASSING WAS GENUINE AND FRIENDLY.

- Ian, June 2019
Elaine June 2019

“Lovely bungalow, very clean.”

Nice comfy bed. Please be aware if you have a dog the pub round the corner, The Royal George, does not allow dogs so we were unable to go there to eat which was a shame as the weather was awful and it would have been nice to have a dog friendly pub to eat out.

- Elaine, June 2019
Brian May 2019

“The owners and the property were fine”

- Brian, May 2019
Heather April 2019

“The bungalow was well equipped with everything we needed.”

Lovely comfortable bed,spacious lounge .Lovely and peaceful setting. Joan and Bob very nice people nothing to much trouble. Would definitely recommend this quite location.

- Heather, April 2019
Lesley March 2019

“Berries was extremely comfortable, warm and very well equipped.”

The owners were friendly and welcoming but not intrusive. However, it is not as dog friendly as claimed. The position of a gate means that the dog has to be escorted into the garden and then to expect it to be on a lead while in the garden is unfair on both dog and owner. This should be made clear in the property details. I would not hesitate to recommend Berries to non dog owners but not to anyone with a dog.

- Lesley, March 2019
Ronald March 2019

“We found "Berries" very comfortable with everything that we needed for our stay with the owners very helpful and friendly.”

We would recommend it 100% for a relaxing and peaceful holiday

- Ronald, March 2019
Jane February 2019

“I have no problems dealing with Sykes to arrange the accomodation.”

However although this property was detailed as dog friendly you are not allowed to leave the dogs unattended in the property and have to put them on the lead in the garden. There was an enclosed garden but you could not let the dogs straight out in the garden safely due to where the gate was. Dog walking from the property was not easy as there are no pavements.

- Jane, February 2019
Michael October 2018

“We were made very welcome by Bob and Joan.”

The bungalow was extremely spacious and very well equipped. Location was good, made by the shop and pub/restaurant close by.

- Michael, October 2018
Chris September 2018

“The owners were very helpfull and in general couldn't ask for more so would definitely recommend”

- Chris, September 2018
Graham September 2018

“Had a great time during our stay at Berries.”

This is an excellent holiday cottage with all facilities you could want including a handy pub in the village serving good food (The Royal George).

- Graham, September 2018
John August 2018

“Really enjoyed our vist in one the most comfortable cottages we have stayed in.”

- John, August 2018
Marguerite July 2018

“We loved the area we stayed in and especially liked our accommodation.”

Joan & Bob were very helpful and friendly and had thought of everything anyone could need to ensure a perfect holiday. The Berries was very well equiped with plenty of storage space, a beautiful garden and very comfy bed. We thought that as it had only one bedroom it would probably be rather small but we were wrong, the rooms were homely and very spacious. We would highly recommend it and would definitely return.

- Marguerite, July 2018
Anthony May 2018

“We were extremely happy staying at The Berries.”

It is roomy and generously equipped. We found everything worked well. The wifi was strong and stable. It was very quiet and we felt very comfortable there. The owners were most accommodating and helpful. We enjoyed the lovely garden and appreciated being close to the pub and the shop. Strongly recommended.

- Anthony, May 2018
Lynn April 2018

“Exploring Suffolk and Norfolk was made much easier knowing we had a comfy home to return to each afternoon.”

this house was just perfect, lovely quiet location, lots of room, and everything we needed to relax and cook our meals, The lovely garden surrounds were an extra bonus: The bedroom had a pretty sunny outlook on fine days, and was huge, with lots of storage and good bed. Wifi reception was fine, shop and pub really close, just as described.

- Lynn, April 2018
Christine April 2018

“We have stayed in this cottage twice now.”

Both have been fantastic. We stay with our dog and all three of us were made welcome. It is a lovely place and we will be going back.

- Christine, April 2018

- Michael, July 2017
Roland June 2017

“The cottage (Berries) was excellent, very well equipped and very clean.”

- Frank, January 2017
Felicity September 2016

“Bob & Joan where extremely nice.”

The property was in fact a "Granny Flat" that had been provided for Bob's mum who had died very recently, so it was more of a "home" than a "holiday let". It was very quiet and restful.

- Felicity, September 2016
Patricia August 2016

“This is the best cottage we have ever stayed in.”

Parking is right at the front door making unpacking easy. The surrounding area has lots of attractions, and to cap it all, the owners went out of their way to make us feel welcome. This is a gem!
